CBcncral information. 



Leonard Case, the founder of the Case School of Applied 
Science, on the 24th of February, 1876, executed a trust deed, 
setting apart certain lands to endow and establish a scientific 
school in the city of Cleveland. In the trust deed he directed 
the trustee — 

"To cause to be formed and regularly incorporated under the laws of 
Ohio, an institution of learning to be called the ' Case School of Applied 
Science,' and located in said City of Cleveland, in which shall be taught, 
by competent professors and teachers, Mathematics, Physics, Engineering 
- — Mechanical and Civil, — Chemistry, Economic Geology, Mining and 
Metallurgy, Natural History, Drawing, and Modern Languages. * * * 
And, without intending to make it a condition or limitation of this convey- 
ance, or any binding restriction upon the power of such Trustees, the said 
grantor does hereby recommend to them to hold said property without 
alienation, and apply the rents, issues and profits thereof to the uses and 
purposes above, and that the expenditures for such institution be not per- 
mitted to exceed the annual income derived from said property." 

After the death of Mr. Case, January 6, 1880, the necessary 
steps were taken to secure legal incorporation. The original 
incorporators were as follows : 

HENRY G. ABBEY, Cleveland. 

ALVA BRADLEY, Cleveland. 

JAMES D. CLEVELAND; Cleveland. 

J. H. DEVEREUX, Cleveland. 

E. B. HALE, Cleveland. 

T. P. HANDY, Cleveland.

In 1881 instruction was undertaken, on a limited scale, in the 
residence of the late Mr. Case, on Rockwell street, and continued 
there until June, 1885. In September, 1885, the School was 
transferred to the ample accommodations in the new building on 
Euclid avenue. 

The city of Cleveland affords unusual advantages for a scientific 
school. It is an important railroad center and lake port, and 
offers excellent opportunities for studying the various engineering 
problems connected with transportation. It is the center of 
extensive mining and manufacturing interests. It has chemical 
works, steel works, rolling mills, furnaces, forges, machine shops, 
and manufactories of electric machines and appliances, and of 
various other sorts. These, in many cases, are the most extensive 
of their kind in this country, and their variety is noteworthy. 
Almost all varieties of engineering structures and of manufactur- 
ing processes can be seen in the city, and are available for 
examination and study by the students. 

The Kerr Professorship of Mathematics. 

To the late Mr. Levi Kerr, one of the incorporators and a 
Trustee, the School is largely indebted for cordial support and 
co-operation, both as an officer and as the representative of the 
estate of its founder, from its inception and organization. 

His influence over the School will be perpetuated in its growth 
and usefulness in the future, through the generosity of his sister, 
Mrs. Laura K. Axtell, by the munificent endowment of the Kerr 
Professorship of Mathematics. 

t,ibrary Facilities. 

Through the liberality of the Directors of the Case Library, 
the students of the Case School have free access to the books and 
periodicals of that library. 

Fees and Expenses. 

The fee for tuition is seventy-five dollars a year, and the fee 
for chemicals and use of instruments and apparatus is twenty- 
five dollars a year. One-half of these fees is payable on the first 
day of the school year, and one-half at the beginning of the sec- 
ond term. No deduction is made for absence during term time.

— II — 

Each student is required, upon entrance, to deposit twenty 
dollars as security against possible injury to the building or furni- 
ture, and for breakage of apparatus in the laboratories. This 
deposit is retained until the student severs his connection with the 
School, and it will be increased whenever the damage to school 
property or laboratory breakage exceeds the amount of the first 
deposit. When the student leaves the School, the balance of the 
deposit is returned to him. 

There are no fees for registration or for graduation, and no 
extras of any kind. The above are all the fees paid to the 
School, and they will thus be found quite as reasonable as the 
apparently lower rates where "incidentals" and "extras" are 
variable in amount and indefinite as to expense. 

The cost of text-books, stationery, etc., will average about 
twenty-five dollars a year. Board and rooms can be obtained at 
from four to six dollars per week. The total expense for the 
school year of the above named items may vary from $275 to 
$35o. 

Scholarships. 

The Trustees have established twelve free scholarships, to be 
awarded, three annually, to students of the Cleveland High 
Schools. These scholarships are to be assigned to those who 
have taken the highest standing in the preparatory course of 
study for Case School of Applied Science. 

The Superintendent of Instruction and the Principals of the 
High Schools of Cleveland constitute the committee for awarding 
the scholarships, all awards to be subject to the approval of the 
President of Case School. 

In order that any student may continue to receive the benefit 
of a scholarship, he must maintain the high standing for which it 
was originally awarded. 

Examinations. 

At the close of the first term, an examination is held upon the 
studies of this term. The annual examination includes the 
studies of the second term, and, at the discretion of the in- 
structor, it may cover, in any subject, the work of the entire 



year. Students conditioned at either of these examinations must 
remove the condition by another examination at the beginning of 
the next school year, or they will be required to repeat the sub- 
ject in full. But a student conditioned at a semi-annual examina- 
tion may, if he chooses, take another examination at the close of 
the second term. Whenever a condition is received on laboratory 
work, the full course must be repeated. If the yearly average of 
any student falls below the minimum requirements in four sub- 
jects, he will be required to repeat the entire work of that year. 

Degrees. 

The degree of Bachelor of Science (B. S.) will be given to 
those who complete, in a satisfactory manner, either of the regu- 
lar courses of study. Previous to the conferring of the degree, 
the candidate must prepare and hand in a satisfactory thesis upon 
some technical subject, selected by him, with the approval of the 
professor in charge of the department in which he desires to 
graduate. 

The engineering degrees — viz. : Civil Engineer, Mechanical 
Engineer, Electrical Engineer, and Engineer of Mines — will be 
conferred upon graduates in those departments who pursue their 
technical studies one year more, or have been engaged in pro- 
fessional work in positions of responsibility for three years; in 
either case, a further thesis on an entirely original technical 
topic, or a detailed account or report of the professional work 
engaged upon, must be presented for acceptance at least twenty 
days prior to the date of conferring degrees. 
Terms and Vacations. 

The regular courses of study are completed in four years. 
Each year is divided into two terms. The school year begins 
about the last of September and ends about the middle of June. 
There is a short vacation at the Christmas holidays. 

Discipline. 

Students are required to be regular in their attendance at 
lectures, recitations, drawing room and laboratory exercises, to 
be quiet and orderly while in the building, and in their general 
conduct to conform to the regulations of the School. 



— i3 — 
Requirements for Admission. 

Candidates for admission to the first class of the regular courses 
of study must be at least sixteen years of age, and they must be 
prepared to pass an examination in English Grammar and Com- 
position, Arithmetic, including the Metric System of Weights and 
Measures, Algebra, Geometry, and the elements of Physics and 
Chemistry. 

In 1889 the examinations for admission will be held on June 
12 and 13, an-d September 23 and 24, beginning at 9 o'clock, 
and the requirements will be as follows : 

Arithmetic. — Examples in all the fundamental rules, together with 
reductions in the Metric System of Weights and Measures. 

Algebra. — Fundamental principles and operations, Factoring, Least 
Common Multiple, Greatest Common Divisor, Fractions, Involution, Evo- 
lution, Radicals of the second degree, Simple and Simultaneous Equa- 
tions of the first and second degree. 

Geometry. — Plane and Solid. 

English. — The principles of English Grammar and Composition. 

CHEMISTRY. — Eliot and Storer's Elementary Manual of Chemistry, or 
an equivalent. 

Physics. — Stewart's Elementai-y Physics, or an equivalent. 

Candidates for any other class than the first are also examined 
in all studies previously pursued by the class they desire to enter. 

Students from other Scientific Schools or Colleges, in addition 
to passing a satisfactory examination, will be required to present 
a letter of honorable dismission. 

Courses of Instruction. 

The Case School of Applied Science provides courses of instruc- 
tion in Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical 
Engineering, Mining Engineering, Drawing, Physics, Chemistry, 
Mineralogy, Geology, Mathematics, Astronomy, and the English, 
French and German languages. These courses of study are 
intended to give a thorough training in the principles of physical 
science, and to offer a practical education as a preparation for 
scientific pursuits. 



— 14 — 

The following regular courses of study have been established ; 
each course requires four years for completion, and for proficiency 
in any of them the degree of Bachelor of Science in the course 
pursued is conferred : 

I. General Course. 
II. Civil Engineering. 

III. Mechanical Engineering. 

IV. Mining Engineering. 

V. Electrical Engineering. 
VI. Physics. 
VII. Chemistry. 

The General Course is intended for students who do not desire 
to give as much time to a single topic as is given in the other 
regular courses. During the last two years the course is largely 
elective. The choice of any study is subject to the approval of 
the President and of the Professor in whose department the 
student desires to work. 

In the synopsis of studies, given on the following pages, it will 
be seen that during the first year the work is the same for all reg- 
ular students in the School. At the end of this year the student 
is expected, with the advice of the instructors, to select one of 
the regular courses of study to be pursued during the remaining 
three years of his course. His work for the second year begins 
with preparatory studies relating to the special subject he has 
selected, and toward the close of the course his attention is given 
exclusively to his special subject. 

Special Students. 

Persons who desire to pursue special branches, and who are 
not candidates for a degree, will be permitted to enter the School 
as special students, without passing the regular examination. 
They must be prepared to pursue profitably the work which they 
select, and must conform to the regulations of the School with 
regard to recitations and term examinations. If desired, a certifi- 
cate of proficiency in the subject pursued will be given to those 
who have studied in any department at least one year. 

Arrangements are made in the laboratories for those who desire 
to fit themselves in special branches, either for teaching or for 
practical work.

Methods of Instruction. 

The methods of instruction include lectures, recitations, labora- 
tory practice, and field work. While a thorough theoretical 
knowledge of each subject is required, great importance is 
attached to practical training, as a source of mental discipline, as 
well as a preparation for active pursuits. Practical work is, 
therefore, made an important feature in the courses of study, and 
each student is expected to spend a large portion of his time in 
the laboratories and drawing rooms, or in the field. 

English. 

All students will receive instruction during the first year in 
Rhetoric, including English Composition, and in English Litera- 
ture. In Rhetoric, special attention will be paid to diction, 
construction of sentences, figures of rhetoric, and proprieties 
of style. In English Literature, the lives of noted authors will 
be studied, together with selections from their most popular 

writings. 

Modern languages. 

In French, during the first year, three hours a week will be 
devoted to pronunciation, reading, and the construction of the 
language. 

The study of German extends throughout the second and third 
years. The first year will be devoted to acquiring the principles 
of the language ; the second year to translations from scientific 
German. At the end of the third year, the student is expected 
to have acquired a sufficient knowledge of the languages to be 
able to use French and German scientific works. 

Mathematics. 

It is attempted to give every student a thorough working knowl- 
edge of Algebra, Trigonometry, and Analytical Geometry, and 
an elementary knowledge of Differential and Integral Calculus. 
Students who pursue courses in Physics, Astronomy, or Engi- 
neering, will, in addition, take a more complete course in the 
Calculus, and will study Differential Equations and Analytical 
Mechanics. Those selecting Mathematics will be directed and 
assisted in a more extended course of reading. 



Five hours a week will be devoted to Mathematics during the 
first three years by all students except those of Chemistry, who 
will only be required to complete the elementary course in 
Calculus. 

Drawing. 

Instruction in Mechanical Drawing is begun at the beginning 
of the first year, with a series of introductory lectures on the use 
of drawing instruments and materials. 

Descriptive Geometry is begun about the middle of December, 
and continued to the close of the second year. This course in- 
cludes orthographic projection, spherical projections, shades, 
shadows, and perspective. 

The graphical work in shades and shadows is also accompanied 
by exercises in tinting and shading with water colors. 

In perspective, after the student has become familiar w r ith the 
principles, he is required to execute a finished perspective draw- 
ing of some architectural or engineering design. 

In the third year, instruction is given in Stereotomy and in 
Topographical Mapping. The class will take the field under the 
charge of the instructor, and make a complete topographical 
survey, which will embody all the methods of work given to the 
class. 

The map of the survey will be plotted from the notes and 
sketches taken, in accordance with the most approved methods 
in use on the topographical works of the U. S. Corps of Engi- 
neers, supplemented by additional lectures and exercises on topo- 
graphical conventionalizing in ink and colors, and in lettering. 

The Civil Engineering students continue drawing in connection 
with all their technical studies. 

Civil Engineering. 

The instruction in this department is intended to give the 
student such familiarity with the use and adjustment of surveyors' 
and engineers' instruments, and such a knowledge of the theory 
and practice of Civil Engineering, as will render him immediately 
useful in the field and office, and will enable him to advance into 
positions of responsibility. 



— 2 4 — 

The instruction is made as practicable as possible, and field work 
is made a prominent feature of the course. 

The course includes the following subjects : 

Surveying. — Land Surveying with chain, compass and transit ;. 
Leveling, direct, trigonometric and barometric ; Topographical 
Surveying; Geodetic Surveying ; Mining Surveying; Hydro- 
graphical Surveying. 

Mechanics of Engineering. — Statical forces, weights of 
bodies, fluid pressure, etc. Dynamical forces, bodies in motion, 
impact, etc. 

Resistance of materials to extension, compression, torsion, 
bending and breaking. 

Stability of structures, roofs, bridges, retaining walls, etc. 

Engineering Construction. — Materials, foundations, ma- 
sonry, carpentry, iron work, etc. 

Road Engineering. — Reconnaissance, location and construc- 
tion of Roads, Pavements, Railroads. 

Bridge Engineering. — Designs for bridges in wood, iron and 
stone. 

Hydraulic Engineering. — Water Supply, canals, irrigation, 
river and sea-coast improvements, etc. 

Sanitary Engineering. — Drainage, sewerage, ventilation, 
etc. 

Engineering Specifications, Contracts and Estimates will be 
taken up in connection with the studies of details in practice and 
design, as practiced in an engineer's office for actual constructions. 
The student, while engaged upon the above studies, will make 
frequent visits, under the direction of the instructor, to the various 
engineering works, quarries and industrial manufactories of prac- 
tical interest to the engineer. The students are required to pre- 
sent detailed reports, prepared from the notes and sketches 
taken while engaged on these class excursions. 
Mechanical Engineering. 

The instruction in this department is intended to give a 
thorough theoretical knowledge of such work as the student will 
be likely to have in practice after leaving the School. In addi- 
tion to this, the work is made as practicable as possible. 



— 25 — 

The instruction is given by means of lectures, recitations, 
drawing and design, laboratory and shop work. The laboratory 
work is intended to be a prominent feature of the course, giving 
the student an opportunity for testing the tensile, compressive, 
and transverse strength of materials ; the economical use of steam 
in steam engines and boilers, etc. 

Frequent visits are made to the most important manufacturing 
establishments in the vicinity, enabling the student to become 
familiar with the processes of manufacture and the arrangement 
of machinery and shafting, as well as with the mechanism of the 
machinery itself. The students are required to take full notes 
and make sketches during these excursions. 

Among the establishments visited last year were the works of 
the Prospect Machine and Engine Co. ; Brown Hoisting and 
Conveying Co. ; Warner & Swasey ; Cleveland Forge Co. ; 
C. C. C. & I. Locomotive Repair Shops, etc. 

The work by years is as follows : 

Second Year. — Elements of mechanism, construction of gear 
teeth, mechanism of shop and mill machinery, processes of man- 
ufacture, and arrangement of machinery in shop. 

Third Year.— Thermodynamics, including the theory of heat 
engines generally, injectors, condensers, and flow of steam 
through orifices. 

Steam boilers, their mechanism, materials of construction, 
wear and tear, mountings, combustion of coal, evaporative 
power, etc. 

Steam engine, valve motions, governors, fly-wheels, indicators 
and indicator diagrams, etc. 

Fourth Year. — Hydromechanics, hydraulic machinery, water 
wheels and turbines, their construction and efficiency. 

Applied mechanics, including strength of materials, stability of 
arches, etc., and friction. 

Tall chimney construction. 

Mill engineering, including mill construction, and equipment 
of mills and shops. 



— 26 — 

Drawing and Design. — In the second year the students 
make complete working drawings from sketches and dimensions 
that they themselves have taken directly from machinery. 

Tracings are made of all drawings, and copied by the ' ' blue 
process." During the third and fourth years, the students will 
design several machines, including a lathe, boiler, steam engine, 
etc. 

Laboratory Work. — The laboratory work in this department 
is intended to give to the students practice in such experimental 
work as they are liable to undertake after leaving the School, 
and to instill into their minds correct methods of research and 
original investigation. The work to be done consists of : tests of 
the strength of materials, evaporative power and efficiency of 
boilers, steam engine tests, showing their economy in the use of 
steam under various loads, cut-offs, speeds, etc. ; calorimeter and 
condenser tests, etc. 

Shop Work. — Enough shop work is required of the students 
to enable them to become familiar with the more common tools 
used in modern work. The shops are supplied with all tools and 
machinery needed to accommodate the students. The second 
year work consists of pattern making, in which the students not 
only become familiar with the tools and appliances used in the 
work, but are expected to understand how all ordinary patterns 
should be made so as to be most easily moulded. The third year 
work consists of blacksmithing, chipping and filing, and the 
fourth year of work in the machine shop, with lathe, shaper, 
drill, etc. 

Electrical Engineering. 

In view of the important advances in the application of Elec- 
tricity and Magnetism to electric lighting, electro-metallurgy, and 
electric transmission of power, a course will be given in Electrical 
Engineering, 

The first three years of the course are intended to cover very 
nearly the same ground as the course in Mechanical Engineering, 
while during the fourth year the particular attention is devoted 
to Electricity and Magnetism, both theoretical and practical. 
Examples of practical problems assigned are: management of 



— 2 7 — 

batteries, measurements of currents, resistances and electro- 
motive forces, constants of galvanometers, electrometers and 
dynamometers; location of faults in telegraphic circuits; laws of 
electro-magnets; intensity of magnetic fields; efficiency of storage 
batteries, electric lights, and dynamo machines. 

During the latter half of the fourth year, the student is ex- 
pected to undertake some original research connected with 
Electricity or Magnetism, which is to form the subject of a 
thesis. 

Milling Engineering-. 

The course in Mining Engineering comprises the studies com- 
mon to all of the engineering courses, and, in addition, special 
instruction in Mining Surveying, Mining Machinery, Chemistry, 
Mineralogy, Geology, and Metallurgy. 

Metallurgy. — The instruction in Metallurgy consists of a 
course of lectures and recitations twice a week, extending 
throughout the year. The work of the first term includes lect- 
ures on fuels, refractory materials, iron, steel and copper, and of 
the second on gold, silver, lead, zinc, aluminum and mercury. 
Visits are made to the blast furnaces and various metal-working 
establishments of the city, for the purpose of acquiring practical 
knowledge of and familiarity with the methods in present use. 
Students in the Mining Engineering course are required to pre- 
pare memoirs on subjects assigned to them, with special reference 
to economic construction of metallurgical plants, and the dressing 
and working of various ores. They are also expected to spend a 
considerable part of the' third and fourth years in the laboratory, 
to follow out practical problems in ore working, and the more 
important wet and dry methods of metal extraction. For this 
purpose, ores of gold, silver, lead, copper, etc., are obtained 
from various localities, sampled and assayed by the student, and 
the most economic and practical method of working decided upon 
and followed out. 

Mineralogy. — In connection with the department of Chem- 
istry, a course of lectures is given on crystallography, blow-pipe 
analysis, and determinative mineralogy. The laboratory work 
includes a study of crystalline forms by means of models, and the 



determination of mineral specimens by physical characteristics, 
and by the blow-pipe. The student is expected to become 
familiar with about one hundred and fifty mineral species. 

Geology. — The study of Geology will be pursued during the 
second term of the third year. A large collection of geological 
specimens, including minerals, fossils and rocks, has been added 
to illustrate the department. The course of lectures includes 
Structural Geology, Paleontology, and Economic Geology, 
illustrating as far as practicable the occurrence of ore deposits 
and other economic products 

Fliysics. 

The instruction in Physics commences with the second year. 
Students who take the course in Physics, as well as those taking 
such portions of the course as are assigned by the instructors in 
their special department, are thus enabled to have the benefit of 
a year's general training, and in particular they will be sufficiently 
advanced in Mathematics to make their progress in the theoret- 
ical portions of the subject less difficult and more rapid. 

The instruction is given mainly by a course of lectures, and, 
wherever possible, the principles involved, as well as their appli- 
cations, are illustrated by experiments. The lectures are supple- 
mented by questions and problems which test the thoroughness of 
the student's knowledge, and give ample opportunity for the 
further elucidation of such points as are imperfectly understood. 

In order that the principles involved may be realized as actual 
truths, the students are required to spend a considerable portion 
of their time in the Physical Laboratory, in which instruction will 
be given in the use of instruments of precision, in physical 
manipulation, in the actual testing of the laws and principles 
given in the course of lectures, including experiments and 
measurements in Mechanics, Acoustics, Heat, Light, Electricity, 
and Magnetism. 

The laboratory will be generously provided with the best and 
most modern instruments and appliances, to all of which the 
students have free access. A workshop, adjoining the laboratory, 
affords opportunity for constructing and arranging apparatus, and 



— 2 9 — 

the student is encouraged in devising and executing with his own 
hands any apparatus he may require for special work. 

Practical problems are assigned in 

Mechanics: involving comparisons of standards of length, 
accurate measurements of strength of materials, laws of exten- 
sion, flexure and torsion, determinations of density, laws of fluid 
pressure, etc. 

Acoustics : determinations of pitch and composition of sounds, 
lengths of sound-waves, and velocity of sound. 

Heat : determinations of specific and latent heat, calibration 
and testing of thermometers, and measurements of co-efficient of 
expansion. 

Light : measurements of intensity of light by the photometer, 
laws of reflection, refraction, dispersion and polarization of light ; 
constants of optical instruments, spectrum analysis, saccharimetry 
and measurement of wave lengths ; photography. 

Electricity and Magnetism. — Examples of practical prob- 
lems assigned are : management of batteries, measurement of 
currents, resistances and electromotive forces, constants of gal- 
vanometers, electrometers, and dynamometers. 

Students who take the course in Physics will continue their 
laboratory work during the second, third and fourth years. 
During the fourth year, they will be expected to undertake an 
original research, which is to form the subject of a thesis. They 
will also be expected to prepare and deliver one or more 
illustrated lectures on any branch of Physics they may select. 

Chemistry. 

General Chemistry : a course of experimental lectures, with 
recitations on general and descriptive chemistry, is attended 
throughout the first year by all regular students. These lectures 
are accompanied by an extended course of laboratory practice, 
which includes manipulation of apparatus, quantitative experi- 
ments illustrating the principles of stoichiometry, a study of the 
laws of chemical action, and the preparation and properties of 
the more important elements and their compounds. This course 



— 3° — 

is intended to give a sufficiently comprehensive knowledge of 
chemistry to meet the wants of all students who do not propose 
to make a special study of this subject. 

Analytical Chemistry : the first term of the second year is 
devoted to systematic qualitative analysis in the laboratory, with 
lectures and recitations on the principles of chemical philosophy. 
Quantitative analysis is begun with the second term, and it in- 
cludes simple determinations and separations, which are followed 
in the third and fourth years by analysis of minerals, ores, slags 
and commercial products. 

Organic Chemistry : a course of lectures on the principles of 
organic chemistry extends through the third year, with laboratory 
work on organic analysis, vapor density determinations, fractional 
distillation, and the preparation and study of organic products. 

Chemical Technology : during the first term of the fourth 
year, chemical technology and the methods of industrial chem- 
istry are taught by recitations and laboratory work. Excursions 
are taken, so far as practicable, to manufacturing establishments, 
for the inspection of some of these methods in actual operation. 
For the study of certain technical processes, especially those re- 
lating to the technology of petroleum and of iron and steel, 
Cleveland offers exceptional facilities. 

The course in Chemistry, as above arranged, is intended for 
students who desire to prepare themselves for professional work, 
or to become teachers. That portion of the course included in 
the second term of the third year and the fourth year, is flexible, 
and, with certain limitations, the student is permitted to devote 
especial attention to branches of the subject adapted to his indi- 
vidual taste or ability. Persons who desire a general scientific 
training may take, in connection with other subjects, any portion 
of the course which they are qualified to pursue. 

The Chemical Laboratory contains the necessary appliances for 
practical work in inorganic and organic chemistry. Besides the 
boiler room, the basement contains a room for laboratory prepara- 
tion work and for the storage of certain chemicals, and a larger 
room, 30x25 feet, which is used for furnace work, distillations, 



— 3 1 — 

and the preparation of chemical products. The first story con- 
tains the quantitative laboratory, a private laboratory, the balance 
and reading room, and a private orifice. On the second story are 
arranged the lecture room, the elementary laboratory, and a 
photographic room. The upper floor serves for storage of 
chemicals and apparatus. 

The Chemical Club, which is composed of the students and 
instructors, meets weekly for reviews of current literature, and 
for discussions of special subjects. It is supplied with all the 
principal chemical periodicals. 

Architecture. 

Students in Architecture will find a large part of the Civil 
Engineering course suited to their needs. Those preparing to 
enter an architect's office will find the mathematics, drawing, 
stereotomy, strength of materials, stability of structures, and 
lectures on architectural styles, especially adapted to their 
requirements.
